Lille Transfer Need: Centre-Forward

Lille's defence at times has been impenetrable this season, hence why the club have only conceded 16 goals in 25 league games, but 10 Ligue 1 teams, including 14th-placed Montpellier, have scored more goals than Lille.

While Salomon Kalou has had some highlight-reel moments, seven goals in 25 games is not a good return.

Monaco Transfer Need: Right-Back

Andrea Raggi, who is better at centre-back, is a serviceable right-back, but with Monaco's resources, they need to have world-class players in every position.

In an ideal world, Monaco sign Rio Ave loanee Fabinho permanently in the summer transfer window, since he has the potential to transition into an elite attacking right-back.

Should that not work, Monaco need to target a right-back.

Paris Saint-Germain Transfer Need: Left Forward

In 47 Ligue 1 games, Ezequiel Lavezzi has only scored seven times and created four goals. He is not performing at the level expected of him.

The greatness of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored 19 goals in Ligue 1 and 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League, has ensured Lavezzi's lack of productivity has not become a serious talking point.

AC Milan Transfer Need: Centre-Back

Milan are ninth in Serie A, so the club needs an overhaul and centre-back should be the primary summer transfer need.

Andrea Ranocchia's tackles-per-game ratio has decreased by 1.8 compared to last season, and he has been conceding daft free-kicks.

In his last five Serie A games, he has received four yellow cards and his display in the 4-2 defeat to Napoli was concerning because he was out of position constantly.

This is why Inter are targeting Nemanja Vidic, per Simone Bargellini and Nadia Carminati at Sky Sports.

Juventus Transfer Need: Left-Back

Juventus' primary formation is a 3-5-2, but the club started with a back four in the UEFA Champions League group games against Real Madrid.

On those two occasions, the two left-backs were Angelo Ogbonna and Kwadwo Asamoah.

Both are short-term options at left-back, but Ogbonna is a centre-back and Asamoah is a utility player.

Should Juve manager Antonio Conte want to use a 4-3-3 more predominantly next season, he needs to sign a full-time left-back, preferably an attacking one as he would make an easier transition into a wing-back in a 3-5-2.

Atletico Madrid Transfer Need: Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois will not have his loan at Atleti extended into a permanent transfer and will return to Chelsea next season, per ESPN.

Without Courtois, Atleti will need to replace him if they do not view backup Daniel Aranzubia as No. 1 quality.

Barcelona Transfer Need: Goalkeeper

Victor Valdes wants to challenge himself and break out of the Catalan bubble.

Last September, Barca manager Gerardo Martino confirmed the club would respect Valdes' wishes, per Football Espana: "There's no chance of him [Valdes] renewing his contract."

Tom Cleverley believes the vitriolic criticisms of his performances this season are unfair.

"My job goes under the radar at times," Cleverley said, per Oliver Holt at the Mirror. "I am not a player who's going to beat three or four people and stick it in the top corner or go round tackling people like Roy Keane."

Therein lies the problem with Cleverley: He is not a dominant or commanding central midfielder such as Roma's Kevin Strootman, who has made 76 tackles, scored five goals and registered six assists.

United must upgrade from Cleverley.

Bayern Munich Transfer Need: N/A

Bayern Munich are not only unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season, but Pep Guardiola's team have scored the most goals (57) and conceded the least amount of goals (nine).

Bayern do not have a transfer need as they have the best squad in Europe.

Bayer Leverkusen Transfer Need: Right Forward

Sidney Sam has scored seven times and created seven goals in 15 league games this season, but he has agreed to join Schalke.
